The CAS was aligned with Ghana's Second Growth and Poverty Reduction Strategy (GPRS II) and the priorities identified by the Government of President Kufuor. It had three broad objectives, to: (i) sustain economic growth of at least 6 percent per year; (ii) surpass the Millennium Development Goal (MDG) of halving poverty to 26 percent during this CAS period; and (iii) start to reduce inequalities. The CAS was aligned with sector specific results that contribute to the country's results matrix under the three pillars of: (i) raise private sector competitiveness, (ii) improve human development outcomes; and (iii) strengthen governance. The CAS was presented in two parts with the joint development partners assistance strategy (G-JAS) presented as part one and the World Bank strategy as part two.
